MLB Revives Ashburn Field for Future Stars | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
MLB just unveiled a state-of-the-art turf field at Ashburn Field in South Philly — a major upgrade 30 years after the iconic stadium’s original construction. Named after baseball legend Richie Ashburn, this new field is part of MLB’s long-standing commitment to youth baseball in the city, with roots dating back to the 1989 RBI program. The upgrade, funded through MLB’s ongoing investment in Philly’s youth sports infrastructure, includes modern turf, expanded facilities, and a renewed focus on accessibility and affordability. With registration numbers soaring this summer and a ceremonial first pitch thrown by Richie Ashburn’s grandson, the field isn’t just a renovation — it’s a legacy project designed to launch the next generation of stars.
